HUMANITARIAN TECHNOLOGY AS CATALYST FACTOR FOR A RENEWED ARCHITECTURE IN SPAIN’S FOREIGN POLICY: 2030 HORIZON

Raquel Esther Jorge Ricart

International order and multilateralism open up new pathways to the ongoing adaptation of the Spain’s foreign policy scheme. The 2030 Agenda appears to be a horizon to be fulfilled by traditional and new challenges. Building upon this, humanitarian technology is gaining terrain and relevance at the international forum. Its impact is bare for the entire foreign policy’s approach: from planning and preparedness, to implementation and performance evaluation. However, humanitarian technology has long been overlooked from this perspective. This article aims to analyze humanitarian technology institutional- and policy-building efforts, stemming from international experiences, alongside a set of dilemmas. The purpose is to channel past lessons, to-be-solved flaws, and new proposals towards a renewed framework of Spain’s foreign policy. This will certainly help Spain to achieve its 2030 Agenda goals, as well as to become more competitive at the international level, while maintaining Spanish particularities.
